Hypnotherapy is simply the use of hypnosis to enable you to take control
of feelings, behaviors, habits, and self-image.
Hypnosis is NOT mystical or magical in any way. It IS a very effective
mental tool that enables people to take control of things that may have
seemed beyond their control in the past. Hypnosis is a completely natural,
yet different, state of consciousness from the normal waking state. When a
person is in the state of hypnosis he is completely awake and alert. He
knows exactly what is happening at all times. You cannot be controlled by
someone using hypnosis. While under hypnosis, your awareness is actually
heightened and carefully focused. You become very receptive to positive
suggestions that are acceptable to you, and are able to learn from the
artificial experiences perceived in the hypnotic state.
We can use the artificial experiences perceived under hypnosis to
desensitize a client’s fears, improve his self-image, or gain other
behavioral or emotional goals. Goal achievement is an area of human
behavior where this tool of hypnosis is very helpful. Other areas include
overcoming fears, improving sports, performance, stress control and
relaxation, elimination of habits, gaining self confidence, sexual
dysfunction, and success motivation. Basically, if a feeling or behavior
in your life is undesirable to you, in most cases hypnotherapy can be of
value.
The real goal in most cases is for the client to learn effective mental
dynamics and take control of his life. There are no easy fixes. There is
no magic or effortless cure for your problems, but with a little
knowledge, a little effort, and personal responsibility you can make your
life what you want it to be.
The only
magic is responsibility and work. It helps a lot to have effective tools
and the knowledge with which to use them well. Your life should be what
you want it to be. It is your life. Take control and get what you desire
out of it.
